Hit Bahadur Tamang, the Minister of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation in Nepal, views tourism as the crucial factor in unleashing the economic potential of the country. During his address at the commencement of a walking campaign in Kathmandu, Tamang stressed the capacity of tourism to generate employment opportunities and dissuade Nepali citizens from seeking work overseas.
Tamang is of the opinion that tourism has the potential to form the foundation of Nepal's economic growth. He has a vision of an economy driven by tourism that creates jobs and leads the country towards success. The Minister emphasized the potential of tourism to tackle Nepal's problem of people moving abroad. He stated that the development of appealing tourist spots, especially in rural areas, could encourage people to remain in the country and support local economies.
Tamang proposed focusing development projects on villages with tourism potential. This approach, he believes, would not only create new tourist destinations but also lay the groundwork for a more prosperous Nepal overall.
By prioritizing rural development and leveraging tourism's potential, Minister Tamang's vision suggests a future where Nepal's villages become thriving economic hubs, attracting both tourists and residents. This focus on rural areas could lead to a more balanced and sustainable development path for Nepal.
